Southern Lights and Shadows

Southern Lights and Shadows by Frank Fowler is Fowler's nonfiction account of social, literary, and political life in Australia. Excerpt: "INTERESTING must it be to the English reader to mark how large an Australian element is gradually working itself into our current literature. Our fictionists have fallen upon the soil, like so many industrious diggers, and, though merely scratching and fossicking on the surface, have turned up much precious and malleable stuff."
